I don't know about you, but having to listen to ads before making a phone call??? No thank you.

(And patient teenagers? Hah!)

I have a hard time believing many people would put up with it for more than a few months. The novelty might attract some, but it will wear off; if it ever gets that far.

The closest thing to a free lunch: Downtown Workers Week in Milwaukee. A sub shop was passing out lunches the other day. The cost? You have to stand in line in the heat to get one, instead of staying indoors where it's air conditioned.
